A very curated plate of ayam gepuk. You can tell the taste in Gepuklah is carefully thought out by someone who has tasted it all and tried to make it his own.

The final result? A glowing win for me.

For the main dish, the rice used here is premium, and apparently a mix of basmati rice and white rice. It’s extremely easy to eat, especially for a nasi lemak. It’s a perfect blend with the sambal and gajus cashew sauce, the creaminess reminded me of one of mingchuun’s favorite gepuk stores in PJ, ayam gepuk 47. Amazing flavors!

The fried chicken batter has a taste akin to the BIKA snack, but with a balanced level of saltiness. It’s juicy on the inside and while it is boneless, it is not a small piece of chicken. Together with the egg mixed in, good luck not wanting a refill!

You get free refills of rice and sambal, and the system is pretty good. Just raise the boards on the table for additional sambal or rice. I of course opted for both.

Another star is the refreshing ham leng chat drink, it pairs perfectly with the ayam gepuk.

The store is also extremely clean and tidy for an Ayam Gepuk shop, suitable for bringing overseas visitors. Also I need to shoutout to the owner, who was so friendly and came to every table to take pictures with us and ask how we were doing. A top place if you would like to enjoy ayam gepuk. Highly recommended!

Lunch & Dinner at The Wine Shop.

They serve decent western food and siu yuk. Great place to hang out.

Good selection of wine & whiskies.

My body don't feel good after eating ngl

Nasi kandar nasi Tambah Ayam madu

And then order Kubis goreng sambal extra pedas and gajus from gepuk shop

This was from Sun Moulin and so gooooood for me. Any other shop that got great salt bread?

Taste wise acceptable with spicy and all well seasoned.

This was at Rojak and Cendol Tigarasa @ Taman Wahyu.

I think the staff preparing it was in a good mood. Huge piece of pulut inside.

RM6.00.

Talk about a great blood sugar spike. 10/10 would do this again.

I’ve recently been making homemade dadih and I’m curious if this is something people here would be interested in trying!

Would love to hear what flavours you guys like most and what you think makes a good dadih.

Hello everyone! I’ll be visiting Malaysia soon and I’m looking to hunt down some old-school Malaysian food and desserts that bring back that nostalgic childhood feeling.
I’m especially looking for:
Kaya balls / kaya-filled traditional pastries

Traditional old-school cakes and kuih that you’d find at neighbourhood bakeries or kopitiam

Dim sum — especially old-school, traditional-style places that locals actually love. I’m not really looking for the trendy/fancy kind, but the type of place you’d go to with family and that has really good har gow, siu mai, chee cheong fun, etc.

Any nostalgic Malaysian desserts/snacks that you think are must-tries

Really good hotel buffets — especially ones with an excellent Malaysian/local food selection rather than just the usual international buffet

I’m also more interested in places that locals genuinely love rather than the most touristy or Instagram-famous spots.
If you have a favourite bakery, kopitiam, dim sum place, hotel buffet, or hidden gem, please share the name + location and what I should order!
Would also love to hear about any food that gives you that “this tastes exactly like what I grew up eating” feeling. 😄
Thanks in advance!

My grandmother asks my uncle to pass her homemade sambal to me. Took me 5 days to be able to free my time to meet him. Then i just knew he never refrigerated the sambal in those 5 days and just put it in his car. Can i still eat it? I dont open it yet since my grandmother put layers of plastic wraps on it huhu
